Blaupunkt 55-inches UHD Smart TV(BLA55AU680) : Review

DESIGN

The ultra-slim bezel design has an anodized aluminium finish that imparts the TV a premium look along maximizing the display area. It has a built-in sound bar of 60 watts on the bottom which is enough to fill any moderate size room. In case you have a large living room, you can add another speaker for an immersive experience. The Blaupunkt TV offers two USB in which supports 4K content playback with ease. It also includes 3 x HDMI ports, an RF antenna input for cable TV and Ethernet port to add internet. The internal hardware is also impressive — the TV is powered by ARM Cortex-A53 Quad-core 1.5GHz chipset, along with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. As expected, the TV comes with Smart Air Mouse, which is Voice Enabled. Also, this is a 12-button Bluetooth remote, so you don’t need to point it directly at the screen to use it. That’s because it’s not dependent on an IR blaster, which is a good thing.

PERFORMANCE

Talking about performance, the main feature consumers look at a TV is the picture quality of television. Running at 4K UHD resolutions, pictures look bright, sharp and appealing. The viewing angles on the Blaupunkt TV is great, and a great improvement from previous Blaupunkt UHD series. The colour reproduction on this panel is great, thanks to the premium HDR. The black colour on the screen looks deep. If you’re primarily viewing high-quality HD content, like on Youtube or Netflix, the TV upscale the video to run the content smoothly. 4K HDR truly shines when playing games on consoles, and when viewing UHD Blu-rays.

The interface of the TV is simple, so we get the content quickly and enjoy the moment instantly. I feel the UI is slow and clunky, with response times of around three seconds when an option is clicked. The TV runs on a custom User interface based on Android Operating System.
